This is all about retailers wanting to dodge those pesky card fees, especially on fancy rewards cards. So, double-check your wallet before checkout—your usual card could get the boot! #Business #MakeMoney #CreditCardTips1410Share
Kathryn Olsen+FollowWhy Your Credit Card Bill Jumped This WinterEver notice your credit card interest spiked after the holidays? You’re not alone. Banks can now change your APR more often, and even small changes in your credit score or spending can mean higher rates—sometimes without a clear heads-up. If you’re a retiree or on a fixed income, this can sting even more. Pro tip: Check your statements closely and don’t let those surprise charges sneak up on you! #Business #MakeMoney #CreditCardTips00Share
Joseph Livingston+FollowWhy Did My Credit Card Limit Shrink?Ever open your credit card app and notice your limit just... dropped? You're not alone. Banks are quietly lowering credit limits, even for folks who pay on time. It’s all about lenders getting jumpy over the economy and using algorithms that flag even small spending spikes—like winter travel or holiday shopping. If you only use a card for emergencies, you might get hit too. Pro tip: Use all your cards occasionally and keep balances low to avoid a surprise limit cut. #Business #MakeMoney #CreditCardTips00Share
nkent+FollowWhy Your Credit Card Rate Won't BudgeThinking a Fed rate cut will shrink your credit card bill? Not so fast. While banks are quick to hike your interest when rates go up, they’re slow to drop them when rates fall. So, even if the Fed cuts rates again, don’t expect your APR to magically dip. If you want to save on interest, try a balance transfer, negotiate with your card company, or look into debt consolidation. Waiting for banks to play nice could cost you more in the long run. #Business #MakeMoney #CreditCardTips00Share

Money hack: keep your credit cards to yourself, and help family with cash or advice instead! #Business #MakeMoney #CreditCardTips00Share
